NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[d.kaufman]

After you post this my Mother stops by and a crossing (in SB) with arms down and no train. Everyone driving around the down crossing arms. Ugh.

From the chatter I'm hearing, its sounding like someone walking along the tracks with headphones on. I still don't know why someone would do this, and how, even with headphones on, can't hear the horn or feel the vibration.

If true, someone earned the Darwin award today

It opened up about 5 minutes before I left work, so was able to go the normal way. They had backed the train up but was still quite a few RR officials on scene when I went thru

On my way back from Nappanee this morning coming west on 30 I was following the very same train and we split up in Valpo around 11:30 and wondered if this was the same train? On my way home had to see if it was the same train and it was. Feel sorry for the engineer going thru all this after the accident. Was there any news about the pedestrian?

So I stopped in a Hy-Vee today in Davenport and found some Ezra Brooks Special Finished Series on sale for $31.99. Now I am not a rye bourbon guy, I prefer wheat like the good Lord intended.

I must say that this stuff is pretty good, especially for the price. This stuff is not quite as good as Angels Envy, but it is also finished in port wine barrels, and you can taste it. This might make the "friends coming over" shelf. It is a good pour and while I still prefer Makers Mark at the price point, it is great for something different or even a mixer.

I've found very few finished barrel selections good. Me personally, I hope this trend continues to fade away. I have enjoyed OE7 Barrel Stength.

I grew up around RR tracks by Highland High, played on them all the time and agree.
For awhile someone was getting killed on 41st st once a year. I remember them well with one being suicide and another kid who's name I still remember playing chicken on the way home from school and froze on the tracks. Amtrak hit him at 70mph. I was in junior high and seen it soon after the cops and FD arrived and remember seeing a chucka boot with chunks and blood and the main part covered by a yellow tarp. Another was a town garage dump truck. We used to catch tad poles on the dump gate in the ditch for years afterward.
Had my own close call once. Was on my bike and heard the horn, couldn't see it due to homes and peddled real fast.
When I got to the top of the hill it was so close I froze on the peddles and coasted across.

Sounds like a suicide or serious drugs. I can't imagine trains go by there very fast, and I don't think the earphones have been created that could block out the horn on a train.

If it's the Mayflower one, that stupid crossing always breaks down. I swear I've seen CN there fixing it several times throughout the year. I'm just glad I don't need to cross it anymore now that I'm moved out from my Dad's.

I cut through there often. I usually don't see just closed, but I do see a lot of stopped trains there or further west on the same tracks.

That being said, I should add I truly hope it’s animal remains, cuz that’s just horrible otherwise

Train horns are loud as f and I don't think there's a pair of headphones in the world, Active Noise Cancelling or not, that could drown one out.

 

[Max Volume]

Going around gates is especially dangerous when there is more than one track. I was behind someone
waiting for a train on Hendricks St near Griffith. When it passed the gates remained down so they start to go around the gates. Almost got nailed by a train coming the opposite way on the far track.

They had a big deal about them here a long time ago. They told them not to use the horns. It makes to much noise.

They definitely blow the horns on this particular crossing. Can hear it from a mile away
